Creative Aging Reading List

The Aroha Senior Fellow for Museums and Creative Aging, William (Bill) Tramposch, recently wrote an article for the American Alliance of Museums blog. In the post, Bill described the creative aging movement as “reawakening curiosity”. “At a certain time in our lives, we can either retire and retreat or realize that our demographically lengthening years are an opportunity to advance into other exciting avenues, ones we have only dreamed of exploring,” said Bill.  

Museums can provide many opportunities for these “reawakenings of interest and engagement” and are “safe places in which adult learners can grow and thrive.” 

Bill curated a reading list on the topics of creative aging, which can serve as a prompt for museum professionals and creative aging supporters, guiding us toward lively institutions and programs. Bill’s recommending reading list can be found in his post here.
